You won't make back your cash that way dude...... I think many of us are in the same or similar boat as yours. If it makes you feel any better, here's a clip of my totals after today from my full service brokerage account. If it wasn't for a couple insurance and financials that are included here, I'd be down a lot more. $Value %Change $Difference 8,562.00 -1.25 -1,250.00 27,375.00 -0.06 -125.00 12,515.63 +0.69 +515.63 1,187.50 +0.25 +62.50 3,500.00 +0.00 +0.00 7,500.00 +0.09 +940.00 10,875.00 -0.06 -186.00 7,596.88 -0.31 -171.88 16,343.75 -2.13 -1,062.50 3,250.00 -0.22 -218.75 9,687.50 -0.06 -62.50 4,968.75 -1.19 -593.75 12,750.00 -2.44 -1,218.75 9,425.00 -0.63 -812.50 19,937.50 -2.88 -2,875.00 3,918.75 -0.69 -206.25 12,375.00 -1.13 -1,125.00 --------------------------------------- -8,389.75*
*Does not include options, bonds, DRIPS, or my on-line brokerage accounts. For the week thus far I'm down approx. $50k. I feel like kicking anything in sight. It's my worst week ever. I'm afraid to look at my 401k, which is heavily invested in agressive stock funds. I could only imagine the carnage there.
Of course, I wasn't complaining last year, or last week. It's all relative, my friend. Give a little, take a little. Hopefully you end up with more than you started with :-)
Go get 'em tomorrow!
